Royal Albert Hall review (The Times, 19 Sept)
posted by davidt on Thursday September 19 2002, @08:00AM

 Grillo sends the link:

Morrissey - Royal Albert Hall by Stephen Dalton. Times Online, Sept. 19, 2002

Excerpt:

THERE was a hint of the old cocksure swagger when Morrissey took the stage, despite having no record label and a virtually dormant pop career.

Still in fine voice and looking relatively youthful at 43, the former Smiths frontman returned from Hollywood exile to shore up his fading reputation. Like Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, he resembled an old-fashioned star in a cheap, vulgar, new world.

            Who is he? And which quote exactly is buried in "Everyday"?

            Anyone?

            "...confirmation of widespread critical opinion that Morrissey has been in creative decline for a decade, coasting on the afterglow of his golden years."

            "Tuesday’s show was ultimately a frustrating reminder of a once unassailable talent now diluted or squandered."

            Maybe I'm just imagining tings, but I seem to remember something very similar sentences being used by a Mr Dalton in his review of Moz's last London appearance. Does anyone have a copy of it?
